Hi,

This is Kay.
I am not sure if the email address is correct, and I am really appreciate if there is any help for my issue. it's baffling for few days, and the expire date is coming soon.. :(

There is a IPA 2.2 environment, and three "Server-Cert"( two 389-ds and the Apache certs) will be expired at 2016-06-05 22:03:17 UTC.
Two years ago, these certs were renewed by other guys according to this document: http://www.freeipa.org/page/IPA_2x_Certificate_Renewal
and it was successful then the certificates has been renewed until 20160605.

But recently I want to renew it again since the expire date is coming. Then I follow the above guide, however things not go well.
As below, it's the 8 certs which certmonger are tracking:
root at ecnshlx3039-test2(SH):~ #getcert list
Number of certificates and requests being tracked: 8.

Follow all the steps in the guide, the result is just first three certificates are renewed to 20160622 if I set system time to 20140623(which the four CA subsystem certs and CA cert are valid).
But other five are not renewed at all (the four CA subsystem certs and CA cert). there is no error information during these steps.


I google a lot but still found nothing could resolve it. and then I found there was a similar thread: https://www.redhat.com/archives/freeipa-users/2015-October/msg00174.html
But unfortunately the solution is not available for my issue either.

Since I am not familiar with Freeipa, so it bothers me so much.
Any help will be really appreciate. Thansks in advance!

Thanks,
BR//Kay
